Emily Blunt and John Krasinski have been happily married since 2010, have two children together, and are basically the definition of #CoupleGoals; but just how exactly did their love story begin? While promoting their first film together, A Quiet Place (which Krasinski also wrote and directed) Blunt revealed to Seth Meyershow she and her husband first met. The actress described the encounter as both a "sad, lame story" and "our romantic comedy." We agree more with the latter.

According to Blunt, she and a mutual friend were out having dinner when the pal noticed Krasinski was in the same restaurant. "My friend goes, 'Oh my god, there's my friend John,'" the actress recalled during her appearance on on Late Night.

Krasinski, who was having dinner with Justin Theroux at the time, came over to talk to them. "He abandoned Justin and came over to talk to us. He did not eat. He just stood there and made me laugh," Blunt continued.

Meyers then asked her if she knew Krasinski was the one after first meeting him. "I kind of did," she said, warming the hearts of literally everyone in America.

Blunt said that she was a big fan of the original version of The Office in the U.K. and decided to binge-watch the American version as well, and fell in love. That's actually how she knew who Krasinski was when she first met him. "I was sort of aware that he was vaguely recognizable," she joked to Meyers.

The actress also mentioned that their meet-cute could be the perfect premise for a rom-com. "Guys, it's golden. It's cinema gold," she quipped.

Blunt and Krasinski have actually been offered roles in various romantic comedies before, but turned them all down. "We've sort've been offered every romantic comedy under the sun," she told Meyers in an earlier part of her interview. "But no one wants to see John and I kind of meeting in a film. Like, people wouldn't buy it."
